The Standard

A score a hotel would be proud to frame

Every stay is measured against the Mrs Check-In Family Index — seven criteria spanning design and architecture, suite comfort, dining, cultural discovery, walkability, and the only question that really matters: would we return? The result is a single, honest number, and an edit you can book on trust.

How the Index works

Coming Annually

The Mrs Check-In Family Hotel Awards

Once a year, we recognise the hotels that get it right — Best Family Suite, Best Design, Best Kids' Club, and more. Not a popularity contest, but an editor's list, awarded to the rooms and resorts that families will remember for a lifetime.
